yeah, specially with Zack being a former military, it makes me wonder why he didnt make a comics about super hero operators operating operationally, but instead made GI Joe's retarded cousin. and GI Joe is plenty retarded already

Rainbow Six (the novel) with Superheroes would be a cool idea.

He needs to slow down with the retardation, it is getting harder to keep up with this thread.
EDIT: ninja'd what a failure of a human I am.

Honestly, looking back does anyone remember when he had a fan page & a few weeks later he told the fan page go stop using his YouTube name & splatto logo?

Zack definitely fucked up an opportunity very few people would ever receive in their lifetime, but I do wonder why people would even give him the IP to defecate upon in the first place.
He has no track record, a proper framework in place to prepare and distribute the comics in a timely manner, nothing. It's like asking a random construction worker you see squatting on a roadside to go build you an airport in Dubai.

Probably because the people who do have a proper fulfillment center for Expendables is the Big Two, but for some reason, they aren't available to Stallone or Dixon to use. So they chose a new start-up, which a lot of Kickstarter-type projects are, and rolled snake eyes. News probably hadn't gotten around that Splatto Del Gato comics were habitually late at the time.

Sly Stallone wanted Chuck Dixon to write it and Chuck being a good guy used the opportunity to help out dough head and give him a leg up.
Basically Zach owes Dixon a lot.
It would give Zach's shitty writing more value I tell you that much.
Grifter is a grifter as long as they are being accused of being inauthentic or unethical and making money off it, so Vikki gets to call everyone a grfter she's not making any amount worth noting. Richard is not far off. He's trying hard to lose money lately. They would make a cute couple.
I think he picked this up from Cecil who often would use the term to describe the guys with huge pull lists at the comic shops that spent hundreds in a clip. It's so far back now but YBZ used to interact with Cecil in 2020 and before. Maybe he picked up being a faggot from him too.
I felt like this was a turning point for comicsgate where they had a brief chance to turn things around and become some kind of industry force or at least a known entity with a positive reputation. Getting an actual license of something people had heard of. Obviously it wasn't long until I realized they would fuck it up and this isn't happening. Maybe it was meant to be a dynamite book before that deal got screwed up? I know Sly would have dealt with Chuck Dixon. I'm sure Sly has no time to know about the crowdfunding hellscape and just thought they will make a comic book and release it in a few months like mildly competent people. Small and midlevel indie presses that did Rambo and Expendendables books before just did that. Plus Chuck would work with Meyer (or anyone at all who is paying) because he has been re-building his own trash reputation step by step. Taking jobs with the "far right" Peter Schweizer and Vox Day closed off a lot of work for him so he had to use Meyer to take a step up to eventually working with Eric July.

More black excellence
Apparently Ethan's wife is getting a MRI done. I think him going after nerdortic's wife wasn't a good idea.

Zack, when AI allows people to create their own comic art effortlessly, people won't care about your comics. They'll be doing their own superior comics.

I don't know if anyone has said this yet but the BUFDAY CLOWNS meme shows how out of touch Zach is, everyone who watches streamers has sent that super chat in at one point or another.
He just buys the hype because "I uSeD tO wOrK iN tEcH"
Zack is too dough headed to think about art in a more philosophical way in order to logic his way to understanding why Ai art is a fad/bubble.

Given how so many people turn into Fine Arts appraisers the second they see AI art, I don't see it taking off like it's projected. Now, it's good for cheap, disposable, stylistic neutral porn and to make standardized animation, but it can't replace artists as a whole.

Waiting for that shoe to drop.
I have a ethical sense of AI, I don't use 1 to 1 AI renderings in my work. They're used as concept art.
In probably a few more months, the image generating AI will be able to consistently render characters doing different things.
Right now it's kiiiinda close, but details major and minor change too much.
There are a couple anime specific AI video generators that are coming along nicely, but again, consistency is king.
Will it replace hand drawn stuff?
Immediately.
Will that last forever?
No. But's not going to disappear either. Not even 50/50 in the market. Probably 70AI / 30Human.
The fact that a lot of outsiders don't consider about AI's entertainment value, is that it's rapid content generation.
Even Youtube predicts that next year 80% of the content on it's platform will be AI generated. That doesn't mean the human stuff is going away, that just means that there's now 80% MORE Youtube uploads that are AI based content.
Right now, you can automate your Youtube video production. You don't even have to use your voice, or type the script.
It's only going to take another year or two before WB, Disney, Universal, etc. roll out an app that you pay $20 for a movie based on your content generation. They get the commercial Rights to that movie; and you get to see John Wayne as Batman fighting space demons on a Martian milk beetle farm---in the distant past.
Same with comics. Right now there's a song creation AI that's pretty damn good. You don't even have to feed it lyrics. It'll just accept "Write a song about John Wayne being Batman rescuing Martian Milk Beetles from Space Demons in the Old west---on Mars." and it'll render out a whole song. Lyrics, beat, chorus, ect. in just about 2 minutes. 4 minute song. Ready to roll.
The "quality" that the CG used car salesmen want to tell you matters to the consumer; actually doesn't.
Over on BIC YT, I'm building a following of people that like the music I create for the videos I post.
They want me to produce an album.
It's all AI generated music that I massaged into something that sounded good to my ears.
It truly scares me how effective the music end of AI generation is. Protest songs are a snap.
I even remixed that Socialist Megaphonix 'Eating The Dogs' song in under a half an hour. Most of that was just futzing around with the timing of the lyrics. Perfectionist bullshit.
Get used to AI content.
It's going to be in everything for the next 30 years or so.
